Product Description

Carpenter Watch

Warm and rustic yet thoroughly modern, the Carpenter Watch is the first soft-strapped watch made of all-natural wood. To achieve an uncluttered design in which the organic beauty of the wood remains the focus, designer Lorenzo Buffa created a myriad of prototypes before he arrived at the final iteration—an understated, gender-neutral watch form that accentuates the loveliness of wood veneer by taking advantage of its flexibility. With an innovative bonded wood-and-leather strap made from lumber offcuts and a solid hardwood body, the timepiece is as beautiful as it is earth-friendly. Dark: Made of red sanders with strap veneer made out of reclaimed makore off-cuts. No time markings. Light: Made of maple and strap veneer made out of sliverheart off-cuts. Stainless steel hour markings. Miyota quartz movement. Made by craftspeople in Japan. Case: 1.66"diam.

The Carpenter Watch is featured in the Kickstarter@MoMA Design Store collaboration, and was brought to life by 716 backers on Kickstarter.

Please disregard my former review! One of the owners of the company painstakingly sought me out to remedy the issue I was having with the watch. They found me by my username on YouTube and sent a message just to try and find me! Really?! How amazing is that?! Myles was more than accommodating in working to ensure I was satisfied with my purchase. In the end, I received a beautiful watch.

I'm a bit of a tree hugger - this was a gift from my girlfriend and I've never gotten so many compliments on an accessory before! It's lighter in weight than I expected it to be - but that's okay. The wood grain on mine is more pronounced than the photos, but I think it actually makes my piece particularly unique.
